This was transposed for mandolin, but it sounds great on guitar as well. Enjoy!
[Intro]
G G7
As the sun is sinking low
C Cm
And the evening's tucked in tow
G Em D D7
On the horizon, my true love I seeeeee.
G G7
She ain't fancy, she ain't fine
C Cm
While her fingers number only nine
G Em G C D
She's the belle of the ball of the insurgency.
[Chorus]
G Em
She's my Bandit Queen, lain beneath the moon
C D
In a bandit cave, a blanket laid for two
G Em
If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea
C D7 G
O Bandit Queen, steal away to me.
[Verse]
Em
Somewhere on a mountain, by a starry water fountain
G D
In an alcove hid by some trees
Em
Amidst a pile of treasure, reclining at her leisure,
C D
My ladylove sniffs as the breeze.
C
And sitting up, she adjusts her turban
G
And takes another swig from a bottle of bourbon
A D
And listening to the whistling of a train at station
D
Odds are it will never reach it's destination.
C Em
'Cause the Bandit Queen, astride her steed will ride
C D G
O let me be the on to lay within your theivin' arms tonight.
(Em C D)
[Chorus]
G Em
She's my Bandit Queen, lain beneath the moon
C D
In a bandit cave, there's a blanket laid for two
G Em
If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea
C D7 G
O Bandit Queen, steal away to me.
